When Better Bakery contacted me and asked if I wanted to try their Cheese & Pepperoni Pizza and Chicken & Bacon Club Artisan Melts, I jumped at it. Not only did these artisan melts sound SO good, but I am also finding that at least one night a week (if not more), I’m scrambling to find an easy dinner idea that the whole family will like. And since these sandwich melts sounded perfect for my family, I had to try them out.
Better Bakery’s melts are found at Walmart, Kroger, Meijer, HEB and Harris Teeter. Head HERE to find the closest retailer near you that sells Better Bakery foods! I headed to Walmart to pick up our boxes. I found them on the top shelf of the sandwich section in the frozen foods aisle. I love how affordable these melts are! And, the frugal gal in me also loved the fact that there is a $1.50 off 1 Better Bakery Artisan Melts coupon we can use! While at the store, I also purchased some frozen corn. I wanted to use the corn to make an easy corn salad to accompany our Artisan Melts.
Better Bakery provides a one of a kind sandwich experience hand made in small batches for everyone to enjoy. The handcrafted, artisan melts are made by Bakers who are committed to the Better Bakery art, and want to make better food. Don’t you love their packaging?
You can either microwave or bake these sandwiches. I chose to use my oven. Once your oven is preheated, it takes only 22 minutes to cook your sandwich! During the time it took cook the sandwiches, I made my Corn Salad.
The thing with me is I am busy. So when I cook, I have to be intentional about maximizing my time. This Corn Salad Recipe is one I’ve made countless times. I switch it up all of the time using different flavored vinegar, adding other veggies and sometimes adding sweetness like honey or even white sugar. It always comes out good. It really just depends on what fresh ingredients I have in my fridge. Today’s Corn Salad I made with red pepper and cilantro. YUM.

My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
